Barron and Flannery hoping for game time with Emerging Ireland

There’s a chance for some younger members of the Irish talent pool to prove their worth ahead of next year’s World Cup this afternoon.

Max Deegan captains an Emerging Ireland side who take on the Griquas in Bloemfontein.

Cashel’s Diarmuid Barron and Bansha’s Jake Flannery are among replacements.

Kick-off there is at 12.45pm.
